About

[Introduction]

French, Turkish, Design Student, Nerd

Andre is a passionate design and computing student who holds a particular interest in the intersection of technology, behavioural science and spatial practices. His holistic approach to projects, eagerness to include various art and science influences into his work, strong belief in sustainable innovation, attentiveness to societal issues and keenness for collaboration define his practice. Having lived in various countries and being fluent in several languages, Andre is inspired by a multitude of personal experiences that channel his creative energy and drive his ambition.

[Ambition]

Andre believes that the most profound innovations can only be achieved when making art and science work hand in hand together. As such, he is convinced that a multidisciplinary approach to design is crucial in making any project successful. He therefore aspires to develop his varied interests into a unique profile that can serve his ambition to bring people together through the design of spaces.

He is conscious that a design needs to be sustainable in order to positively impact people on the long run. As a strong believer in progress and innovation, he sees great potential in the development of new materials and technologies to reduce the impact of humans on their surroundings. Being confident that environmental challenges can be a driving force for creativity rather than a constraint, he is committed to deepening his knowledge in other areas of innovation in order to best imagine and design an exciting yet viable future for spaces.
